Iran Blocks Strait of Hormuz, Demands Toll

0:00On April 8th, Iran's putting the brakes on oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz right as a two-week ceasefire with the US Kixin demanding Israel. Back off Lebanon and slapping a toll up to $2 million per ship. Two tankers slipped through this morning, but Iran shut it down quick, blemming Israeli strikes and warned it'll blast any vessel trying to pass. Without permission. Trump's catching heat from his own camp over the deal, and its 10 point peace plan, with allies like Senator Lindsey Graham calling for VP JD Vance to explain it to Congress. And in memory, GOP rep Don Bacon and fire brands like Laura Lumer say it's no win. Iran's government stands strong, and they're already scheming to pocket billions. From Strait tolls paid in Iran or crypto. Gulf heavyweights like Saudi Arabia, hate Iran, calling the shots on that key waterway carrying 20% of global oil, leaving shipping lines cautious as tensions simmer.
